Tangled Up in the Red, White, and Blue:
An Urgent Call to Resist the Hijacking of Christian Faith by American Nationalism

​February 23, 2018

"Nationalism makes it impossible to see the kingdom of God and diminishes Jesus from 'King of Kings' to the reduced role of 'personal savior.'" - Brian Zahnd

Pastor, theologian, and author Brian Zahnd reintroduces us to the gospel of Peace and challenges our notions of what it means to be a follower of Christ in America today. 

Zahnd is the founder and lead pastor of Word of Life Church, a non-denominational Christian congregation in Saint Joseph, Missouri. Brian and his wife, Peri, founded the church in 1981. Brian is also the author of several books, including, Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God, Water to Wine, A Farewell To Mars, Beauty Will Save the World, and Unconditional?: The Call of Jesus to Radical Forgiveness.
